Race Against Terror w/Jake Tapper

On this special episode of Unresolved, Micheal is joined by bestselling author and CNN lead anchor Jake Tapper to discuss his new book, Race Against Terror, a nonfiction thriller that begins on a crowded refugee ship in the Mediterranean and ends in a courtroom in Brooklyn.

The book revolves around Ibrahim Sulieman Adnan Harun, also known as Spin Ghul ("The White Rose"), an al-Qaeda jihadist who was prosecuted for his actions during the War on Terror; as well as the family of an American soldier killed during an ambush by Spin Ghul. Along the way, you get to meet the officials involved in the decade-long case, many of whom spent years working on it in various ways.

During this conversation, Micheal and Jake discuss the book, what drew Jake to the story, what Spin Ghul's prosecution may mean for the future, how it relates to current events, and so much more.
